The pavilion design is drawn from its location in Kongens Have (The King’s Garden) in Copenhagen, which was originally designed as a geometric Renaissance garden. With geometry as the main starting point – the pavilion is developed as a hybrid between Arabic and Nordic architecture. The pavilion is designed with inspiration from the reciprocal relationship between the two architectural traditions – their context and climate conditions. With inspiration from the Arab world’s geometries and spatial connotations; inspiration from the Danish climate and from the Renaissance garden as context; and the use of wood as a condition for the competition.
An example of the hybrid characteristics of the pavilion is that it transfers the Arab courtyard geometric patterns representation of nature to the danish context where the pavilions geometric construction filters the surrounding nature.
